                  Calder Bank Competition (The Rusty Cup)  19th April  2008

                                                         George wins Rusty Cup

Eighteen anglers attended the first DFFA competition of the 2008 season on Loch Calder. Competitors were greeted by cold overcast conditions and a dreaded easterly wind.

The competitors spread to every corner of the Loch but it was George Robertson who struck gold in the New Bay. With fish rising to small black up wing flies he managed to bag eight fish using a Ghost Tip line with Kate Maclaren and Greenwell Spider. George also managed the heaviest fish at 0.82 lb.

               

In second position was Tony (Cobra) Chalmers. The defending champion made a slow start to the day but came on strongly with two hours to go. He caught six fish on the far North East corner of Calder on a Wakesaver line and Bibio.

On the last step of the podium was Calder expert Ken Macleod with four fish caught on his favourite Black Pennell Variant.

Eddie Beattie on fourth, Alan Porteous fifth and Bill Robertson completed the top six.
